MySpace Bulletin Case Study

By David Turnbull
First, I selected an appropriate offer from Azoogle.

' M& B0 q% i0 |$ {' HID: 1876
Name: Superb Rewards - Free IPOD Nano (Brand New!)
Payout: $1.40

Why did I choose this offer?
2 @9 M( K2 ?1 y$ Z3 r- Pays for just the E-Mail; a simple action that can be completed by 99% of people.
- Decent Payment ($1.40); One of the higher paying iPod offers so I thought it was a good choice.
% ^: X) O  |8 m6 V" C- Good Reward (iPod Nano); iPods are all the craze lately, some may say it is saturated but a lot of people still don???t have, and want an iPod.
& x* D3 {8 B- ^# _+ D1 k  y- Appeals to my demographic; It???s usually the younger people wanting iPods, so 18-25 is usually a good range.
; p+ b) `3 L6 k+ T& K0 D9 n; g# i
0 r# O$ s. S, z( H7 y& QI have a MySpace account with 5400 friends (as of now) and I posted a simple bulletin with the following fields:

; ^, E: I- [9 P- R; \" ?9 cSubject: WOW!!! THIS IS SO EASY!!!
$ d/ u! Q3 N3 P. V' wBody: Anyone with a MySpace account can get a FREE iPod just by entering your email address into this form!!!" CLICK HERE!!!

( U9 h3 s: D+ ^3 y/ q; s3 sOf course, I linked the CLICK HERE!!! to my advertisers web address.

The Results?
/ b4 q! o4 Y3 a8 Y- W; `Nothing too spectacular. I got about 10 people clicking on my Link and half of them completed the offer, so I didn???t make too much.

Why? Probably because I???ve used this account for advertising in the past and people have become wary to avoid my bulletins. I did convert at 50% though, so that???s very good ??「 I just needed more clicks.

) f% k2 u4 x5 k( H0 d& J# F& D; g+ vHere is some motivation to get started, as MySpace Bulletin advertising definitely can work.

* a( x6 @) d9 a/ oYou have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each.*
Post a bulletin on each account.
, E- X1 K/ C& Y. H8 A" PEach gives $4.20 (Just 3 Conversions!)$420 in your pocket.
That is a very rough example, but definitely possible.

Bulletins get buried fairly quickly also, so if you post 3 a day, and say you get an average of $2 per bulletin.
! S2 C  \) a$ z) J
You have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each.
7 K( L' `7 C! {! x$ x$ O+ YPost a bulletin on each account 3 Times a Day.
Each gives $2.00
7 F0 f3 `2 q$ n4 U9 G5 s( a$2.00 x 3 = $6.00
8 H  P: J4 E3 n7 H( L" N$6.00 x 100 Accounts

For those looking for the quick route you could also check out ScreenNameForum.com ??「 this forum allows you to purchase accounts or bulletins.

( @& f4 v8 U; b/ r5 o*You may not have 100 Accounts with 5000 Friends each, so maybe cut a deal with other MySpacers (basically revenue sharing) and decide to advertise one Azoogle offer together and then split the profits accordingly.
